WC# 550 Carefree Years

I'll start this week's challenge since it was my idea.

There are so many things wrong with this image, that I know now, but there are also many things I like about this image. I love the beautiful greens and blues, the fluffy clouds, and the contrast between the wet ocean and the dry cactus. If I came across this scene today, I know I could make a much better image, and yet I still keep coming back to this photo because of the meaning behind the image.

This photo was taken in the late seventies. I had dropped out of college after my junior year and moved from California to Hawaii with a friend. I spent four years in Hawaii, visited many of the islands several times, and took photos all along the way. They were carefree years when the only thing I had to be concerned about was making enough money to pay my share of the rent (and buy/process film of course). Every time I look at this image I remember those fun filled years and that is why it is one of my favorite images.
